Knot Me
The Practitioner
Behind the Method
Knot Me began because Sharissa refused to accept that pain and injury had to be her new normal. Twenty years later, that refusal was the foundation of every session she delivered.
A Torn Meniscus. Eighteen Months.
Sharissa came up through competitive dance — a discipline that trains you to move through discomfort, to push past what your body is telling you. As a dance major at Wayne State University, she studied anatomy and kinesiology alongside her performance work, building a foundation in how bodies move, why they break down, and what makes them hold together.
Then came the meniscus tear.
Over eighteen months, she developed her own recovery program — drawing on her anatomy training, her reflexology certification, her understanding of how soft tissue responds to consistent, targeted work. And what she built became the foundation of what she delivered to every client who walked into Knot Me.
Knot Me is named after what she removed: the knots — the hard, tense muscle fibers that restrict movement, generate pain, and compound over time when left unaddressed. Every session was built around finding them and releasing them.
Twenty-plus years of this work. In studios, in spaces, wherever the table goes.
"Pain and injury don't have to be your new normal. The body is designed to move — and with the right work, it can get back there."
— Sharissa, Founder & Stretchologist, Knot Me
The Background Behind the Work
Sharissa's practice is built on formal training in the sciences of human movement — not just technique, but the underlying anatomy of why certain work produces certain results.
The Outcomes That Drive Everything
“I feel like I cheated on you. I tried something else for proximity and realized they're not the same. My body has never felt better until you touched it. I leave feeling great and my mobility improves every time I see you. This is more than worth the drive.”

An Infused Art of Stretching, Acupressure, and Reflexology
Stretchology — as practiced at Knot Me — wasn't a single modality. It was the integration of practitioner-assisted stretching, acupressure, and reflexology into sessions designed around what each client's body needed that day.
