Remembering Jay Weiler (BMus ’97)

Nov. 14, 2025

The Laurier community is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Jay Weiler (BMus ’97), a beloved alumnus and an extraordinary advocate for the health and well-being of performing artists.

Jay began his journey at Wilfrid Laurier University as a dedicated music student and violinist, later performing internationally with a variety of ensembles. His experiences as a musician shaped his life’s work, inspiring him to support others whose artistic careers place unique physical demands on their bodies.

After earning his Doctor of Chiropractic degree with cum laude and clinic honours from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College, Jay went on to establish the Guidonian Therapy Clinic in 2007. The clinic quickly became a trusted and essential resource for the Kitchener-Waterloo music and arts communities.

We know that many of our students, faculty, staff, and alumni have received care at Guidonian, and benefited directly from Jay’s expertise, empathy, and deep understanding of the needs of musicians.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to Jay’s wife, Sara-Lynn, and their daughters Hannah, Cayla, and Annika, as well as to all who are grieving this profound loss.
