If you're using %desktop-services, they already contain a pulseaudio
service. You should use modify-services to change the configuration,
something like this should work:

(modify-services %desktop-services
  (pulseaudio-service-type config =>
    (pulseaudio-configuration
      (inherit config)
      (script-file "/home/nathan/.config/pulse/default.pa"))))

Note that the file-append you've suggested would result in a path like
/gnu/store/...-pulseaudio/home/nathan/.config/pulse/default.pa
