Tenderness as a practice
The body responds to softness. So my whole approach is built around slowness, warmth, and the absence of pressure to perform.
About me
Hi, I'm Dario.
I hold quiet, careful space for people who are ready to listen inward. My work lives at the meeting place of breath, sensation, and deep attention — the slow, body-based practices that help us come back to ourselves.
I serve Park Slope in Brooklyn, New York, in person and online via telehealth. People come to me for many reasons — burnout, big transitions, old tension that talking hasn't softened, or simply a curiosity about what their body has been trying to say.
Reach outYour pace, always
There is no script, no agenda, no fixing. The body opens when it feels safe — and feeling safe takes the time it takes.
Listening as the work
Most of what happens in a session is listening — to breath, to sensation, to what's been waiting underneath the noise.
How I came to this work
Like many of the people I now sit with, I came to somatic practice because something in me was asking for a different kind of attention. The thinking, planning, performing self had taken me as far as it could. What was waiting underneath wanted slowness, breath, and a willingness to actually feel.
Years of practice and study later — and many tender hours of being accompanied myself — I learned that this kind of careful, embodied listening is something I could offer to others. Whisper Somatics is what that offering looks like.
I work in three windows a year so that the work stays unhurried for both of us — three weeks in February, three weeks in July, and three weeks in November. In the in-between, I rest, study, and stay close to my own practice.
