whisperer

One who murmurs

A whisperer is someone who whispers, but the word now primarily appears in compounds describing people with an uncanny ability to communicate with animals or handle difficult situations: horse whisperer, dog whisperer, baby whisperer.

The implication is of gentle, intuitive connection rather than force—someone who calms or persuades through quiet understanding.
