We had the good fortune of connecting with Moon Haynes and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Moon, can you tell us more about your background and the role it’s played in shaping who you are today?
Greetings Shoutout Atlanta! My name is Moon Haynes and I am a Licensed Massage Therapist and Holistic Healer. I am also a mother to an amazing young king. Originally from Brooklyn, NY currently residing in Charlotte, NC.
NYC is a huge melting pot so being immersed in so many different cultures, traditions and way of life truly helped to shape who I am today. It assisted in how well versed I am in many ideas & schools of thought. I always knew I would have a career in service, I just never knew exactly what it would be until much later in life.
Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
What sets Sage Moon Massage & Healing apart from the rest is we create safe sacred space for women to have experiences that allow healing and release holistically. We are more than just a massage therapy studio!
You receive an entire experience when you walk through our doors. From the scent of incense and aromatherapy to the intentional music that is played throughout the sessions (playlist can be found on our YouTube channel). We provide spa treatment and services such as spa (Goddess) parties, yoni steam & ionic foot detox treatments, crystal reiki and more!
I got to where I am today in business by never giving up on my goals and dreams. Even when other didn’t see it or didn’t believe in it, I DID! I went from selling my jewelry on a small 6 ft table on the streets of Brooklyn as I was still in school for Massage Therapy, to having a healing studio and retail shop now!
I overcame a lot of challenges in my 10+ year career. The lessons taught me perseverance, drive and tenacity. Made me a stronger person, therapist and mother over all.
I want people to know there is help everywhere. Never suffer in silence. Regardless what help is needed, there is always help. Tell your story and speak your truth. You help more than you know just by sharing.
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Yes I would love to shoutout my mother Joyce Washington. She is a true visionary, Business Owner over 40+ years and amazing person all around. I get my spirit of independence from her!
