The College Psychiatrist Presents
Before You Fly
An intimate send-off experience for college-bound students and the parents who love them
Reserve Your Spot — $97
You've done everything right.
The applications. The campus tours. The dorm shopping lists. The late-night pep talks you didn't know you needed to give.
But somewhere between checking off the last item and move-in day — there's this moment. Quiet. Tender. A little terrifying.
Before You Fly is for that moment.
It's an afternoon to slow down, be fully present with each other, laugh a little, feel a lot — and leave genuinely prepared for what comes next.
What You'll Do Together
Make a Keepsake Necklace
Elevated, intentional, a little nostalgic. You will laugh. That is entirely the point. Both of you leave wearing one.
Blend a Custom Scent
Scent is the most powerful memory anchor we have — it goes straight to the brain's emotional center. You'll create a signature scent that belongs to both of you.
Share a Guided Moment
Nothing heavy. Just a gentle space to say the things that get lost in all the busyness of getting ready to go.
This isn't a workshop. There are no slideshows.
It's an experience — hosted by a psychiatrist who has spent her career supporting college students and the families who love them through exactly this transition.
Dr. Bianca Busch created Before You Fly because she knows what this moment asks of families — clinically and personally. She wanted to create the experience she wished existed.
What You'll Leave With
Your Keepsake Necklace
Handmade together. Silly, sweet, and completely yours. Both of you leave wearing one.
Your Custom Scent Blend
A roller you blended side by side — scented with this exact memory. Use it whenever you need to feel close.
The Before You Fly Action Guide
A beautifully designed, research-backed guide with real steps to keep your relationship strong across the distance.

Questions
Do both the student and parent attend together?
Yes — this experience is designed for a parent-child pair. You register and attend as a dyad. One ticket covers both of you.
What if my student isn't the crafty type?
Perfect — neither is everyone else. No skill required, zero pressure. The making is just the vehicle for the connection.
Is this therapy?
No. Before You Fly is an experiential event, not a clinical service. Think of it as intentional family time, guided by a psychiatrist who knows this transition inside and out.
What's included in the $97?
Everything — all supplies, your two keepsakes (necklace + scent roller), the Before You Fly Action Guide, and the experience itself.
How many families will be there?
Just 3 per session. It's intentionally intimate — you'll never feel lost in a crowd.
What should we wear?
Whatever makes you feel like yourself. We'll be making things together so comfortable is always a good call.
This is one of the last weekends before everything changes.
